Warrington v Wigan, St Helens v Huddersfield next week. We need to keep the momentum going as they don't have the easiest of games.

Hardaker
Briscoe Watkins Moon Handley
McGuire Burrow
Singleton R Ward Leuluai
Keinhorst Ablett
Ward

Lilley Mulhern Delaney Cuthbertson / Walters / Achurch

Burrow twice ?.

Pretty much the team I'd pick.

Apart from you naming Burrow twice (Lilley for one of the 2 Burrows?) I'd probably about agree with that, but I'm sorry .....I just don't rate Walters at all at the moment.

Win the next two games (Hull & Saints) and we are mathematically guaranteed a top two spot and a home playoff game.

Saints the week after the CCF is a tall order. Depending on injuries / hangover it should be a hard one.

It will be, but we had the exact same scenario last year and came within a whisker of beating them despite Moon being sent off early on and having 12 men most of the game.

1. Hardaker
2. Briscoe
3. Watkins
4. Moon
5. Hall
6. Sinfield
7. McGuire
8. Garbutt
9. Ward, R
10. Cuthbertson
11. Ablett
12. Delaney
13. Ward

14. Burrow
15. Leuluai
16. Singleton
17. Achurch

Give Peacock a rest. Obviously if anyone has a knock replace with Keinhorst/Walters/Mulhern.

I'd like to see a proper hooker in Ward played at 9. If we had Sutcliffe available I'd say move Sinfield to 9 but as we don't I think we need Sinfield in the halves.

With a maximum of 8 games left in their League careers...you ain't gonna see Peacock or Sinfield rested. Bench at best or they start. .no chance they miss out.

I'm a little worried about ward coming into the team to be honest. Previously I had high hopes for him and thought he looked relatively strong, but I was speaking a one of the Hunslet players on Thursday and from the sounds of things, there aren't many players down there that rate him. They have him down as a bit of a bottler when it comes to making tackles, tends to back off, which then leads to him being targeted and giving up 10-15 yards at a time according to him, same when running with ball in hand apparently. I haven't seen much of Hunslet myself this year so I can't really pass too much Judgment, it's just a concern to hear things like that and sounds like he's playing with a lot of fear. Lilley on the otherhand, nothing but positives about him.

I think we do need to rest some key players ahead of the cup final but this game is actually quite important because if we beat hull we will have secured a place in top four.

I'd go with

1 Golding
2 Briscoe
3 Watkins
4 Handley
5 Hall
6 Lilley
7 Burrow
8 Leaulai
9 R Ward
10 Garbutt
11 S Ward
12 Delaney
13 Singleton

Subs
14 Walters
15Keinhorst
16 Mulhern
17 Milton

Wasn't Hunslet's former first choice hooker you were asking for an opinion was it?

Ward's shown enough in the games he's played at SL level - well above the standard said Hunslet player has ever achieved in his career - to make me not have a problem with him coming into the Leeds side.

It is but as pointed out we probably would've done them last year after Wembley had Moon not got sent off. They still seem to have no plan for stopping us in attack and they're in quite poor form ATM.....leading Hull at home 18-6 and then losing the 2nd half 4-26 is a real bad one.

Don't expect to see Delaney next week. Sounds like his hamstring will continue to bother him for the rest of the campaign and that they'll just pick him when needs must like Wembley and playoffs.

No need for wholesale changes or positional changes. I'd like to see R.Ward, Handley, Keinhorst and Singo in the 13. Rest Hall, Ablett and JP. Kylie doesn't play enough minutes to warrant a rest.

Depends on your criteria for 'resting players'

IF it's about 'resting/protecting' MVP players for Wembley then I'd say Hardaker, Cuthbo, Sir Kev and possibly Watkns (although I though he went back to some of his lackadaisical moments last night) would be top of the list to 'rest' as lose any of them would be a hammer blow
